Why Westlight Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Window Replacement Company

We show up when we say we will. That’s not a slogan. Every Delray Beach customer gets a written price before any work starts, a committed arrival window, and a written guarantee handed over at job completion. If something isn’t right within the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise – no negotiating, no fine print. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee, and it’s been the same since 2009.

Owen Satterfield built the company around a simple idea: west light is the late-afternoon sun that pours through a good window – bright, warm, and worth doing right. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door. We carry eight manufacturer lines, including impact-rated PGT and CGI, so we can match the right product to a Lake Ida ranch or an A1A condo rather than forcing one brand onto every job. When a Delray Beach homeowner calls about a failed seal or a jammed jalousie, we know the housing stock and the code triggers before we even pull up.

Window Replacement Company in Delray Beach

A window replacement company in Delray Beach has to understand something most contractors up the coast don’t deal with: the city’s Historic Preservation Board. If your home sits in the Old School Square Historic Arts District or the Marina Historic District, any window or door replacement has to clear historic review first. That means impact-rated products must simultaneously meet Palm Beach County’s Wind-Borne Debris Region glazing codes, which require a large-missile rating, and maintain period-appropriate profiles, muntin patterns, and finishes. It’s a dual-compliance burden that doesn’t exist just up the road in Boynton Beach or Boca Raton, where historic overlay zoning is far less prevalent. Most single-window replacements in Delray Beach run $800 to $1,500 installed, depending on whether we’re doing a full-frame replacement or an insert job.

Full Frame Replacement

When the frame itself is pitted from salt air or the rough opening is undersized, we pull the entire unit down to the studs and rebuild from there. On east-of-Federal CBS ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s, this is often the only path – the original aluminum frames simply weren’t built to hold modern impact-rated glazing. Expect full-frame work to land at the higher end of the range, especially when reframing is involved.

Insert Window Replacement

If your existing frame is square, sound, and code-compliant, an insert slips a new window into the old opening without disturbing the interior trim or exterior stucco. This is faster and less expensive, usually toward the lower end of the range, and it’s common on well-maintained homes in neighborhoods like the Pines where openings are still true.

Window Glass Replacement in Delray Beach

Window glass replacement in Delray Beach means swapping the insulated glass unit, not the whole frame. Glass-only swaps make sense when a seal has failed and you’re seeing fog between the panes, or a crack hasn’t touched the frame. But here’s what we tell every Delray Beach homeowner: if the frame is aluminum and it’s been sitting near A1A for twenty years, the glass isn’t the only thing failing. Salt-laden air pits aluminum frames well below manufacturer estimates, and a glass-only swap on a compromised frame is money spent twice. Glass replacement typically runs $300 to $700 per unit, though on A1A mid-rise condos from the 1970s and 1980s we often find the storefront-style assemblies need full-frame replacement regardless of what the glass looks like.

Fogged or Failed Seals

Delray Beach humidity finds every weak seal. When argon or krypton gas escapes and moisture gets between the panes, the glass is no longer insulating. We stock replacement glass units locally, which keeps turnaround tight.

Impact Glass Upgrades

If your current windows are single-pane and you’re within a mile of the ocean, the code requires impact-rated glazing for any permitted replacement. We match the design pressure to the specific opening, never using a rating above what the frame and wall assembly can actually support. Every configuration carries a Florida Product Approval number or Miami-Dade NOA specific to that unit.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach

We install and service eight manufacturer lines, which means we can match product to problem rather than pushing whatever’s on the truck. In Delray Beach, we work heavily with PGT and CGI for impact-rated applications and CWS for custom profiles that satisfy historic-district review. Stocking local parts keeps our turnaround tight: when a Delray Beach customer needs a replacement sash or a new glass unit, we’re not waiting on a slow freight line from another state. You get a written price before any work starts, and the brand we recommend is the brand that actually fits your opening, your wind zone, and your budget.

Common Window Replacement Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes

• Salt-pitted aluminum frames near A1A. Salt-laden Atlantic air corrodes aluminum faster than manufacturer estimates predict. Frames pitted through the anodized layer can’t be saved with glass-only swaps; the frame goes too.
• 1960s jalousie windows on Florida rooms. Lake Ida and Dell Park are full of them. Pull a permit for any window work on the same structure and those jalousies become a code-upgrade trigger – the scope changes the moment the permit is issued.
• Undersized framing behind original single-pane units. East-of-Federal CBS ranch homes from the 1950s through 1970s often have rough openings that won’t hold modern impact-rated glazing without reframing. That’s not a surprise cost if it’s written into the contract before we start.
• Historic-district compliance conflicts. In Old School Square and the Marina Historic District, a window has to clear both the Historic Preservation Board and Palm Beach County wind-borne debris codes. Few contractors in the area handle both sides of that review.
